ITC Q1 FY27 profit drops 27% as margin pressure offsets 28% revenue growth
ITC reported Q1 FY27 net profit of ₹3,579 crore, down 27% year-on-year, while revenue from operations rose 28% to ₹26,943 crore. EBITDA fell 27.9% to ₹4,514 crore and margin contracted to 26.7% from 31.7%, amid crude-linked input inflation and supply disruptions.
ITC’s Q1 FY27 profit fell 27% to ₹3,579 crore despite 28% revenue growth, as West Asia-linked crude inflation and supply disruptions squeezed margins. The company flagged imported inflation, monsoon deficits and lower Kharif sowing as near-term risks.
Why this matters
The result extends ITC's recent margin-compression pattern: an earlier signal flagged a 27% Q1 profit fall despite 12% FMCG growth, while later coverage noted cigarette pricing recalibration after a tax hike.
